Installing modules at start up, Persistent NFS shares

[Joe90]

Hi

Am majorly impressed with the out of the box experience with Pardus, but am having a couple of problems.

ASUSTEK P7131 DVB/Analogue Hybrid TV card

It works OK, and I can load the required modules manually, but cannot figure out how to get them to load at start up.

To get the card running I need the following:

Code:

sudo /sbin/modprobe saa7134 card=78 tuner=54
sudo /sbin/modprobe saa7134-dvb

I have a feeling that the saa7134 module might already be loading, hence the options I need cannot be loaded "again".

Persistent NFS shares

I have an NFS server on my LAN at 10.10.10.70

I can manually mount as follows:

Code:

sudo mount 10.10.10.70:/media/music /media/music

but this doesn't persist through a reboot. I have ticked all the settings I can find but no go. Great that NFS client is there as default.

You can put your commands in the file /etc/conf.d/local.start

Thanks Jan, but that didn't work - these are modules rather than programs?

Now find I need to get ndiswrapper runing at start up too. The command "ndiswrapper -m" which creates an alias, doesn't have the desired impact, so i am also having to run:

Code:

sudo /sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper

I know this is a simple one, Ubuntu points you to a modules file, but this doesn't seem to be available/or work (if created) under Pardus)

Take a look at /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

And, for ndiswrapper, maybe a look at http://worldforum.pardus-linux.nl/viewtopic.php?t=34 will help.

Hi Jan

yes, I started with that kernel2.6 file, and followed the ndiswrapper post. They didn't work last time, but I'll try them again and report back.... :shock:

[Joe90]

Ok

/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Is the place, ndiswrapper loaded just fine.

saa7134 with options doesn't load. i think it is already loading further up the chain, as I have to rmmod it before i can load it with the options when the desktop is up.

How do I stop it loading in the first place?

As for the persistent NFS shares, you can mount them through /etc/fstab.
Try putting the following line of code in this file:

10.10.10.70:/media/music /media/music nfs defaults 0 0
